U.S. Declares 22 Clinton Emails Top Secret

The Obama administration confirmed for the first time Friday that Hillary Clinton's home server contained closely guarded government secrets, censoring 22 emails that contained material requiring one of the highest levels of classification.

I've seen first hand, people with a lesser GS rating send a TS class rating in the clear on an INTERNAL Govt network, and the mess it causes. (Hint, it involves guys in suits showing up in unmarked box vans and rolling out entire Exchange server racks full of HDD's to never be seen again and leaving the admins staring at cut cables and trying to figure out how to disaster-recover from that.. been there, got the T-shirt)

The fact that TS info ended up outside of ANY Govt. network is not only completely mind-boggling to me, but I can't fathom how someone that high up fucking up this bad doesn't invoke the security response that anything short of nuking the entire building the server was plugged into to dust is still not good enough.

But alas, she will get a full pardon no doubt all the while her army of flying monkeys shout across Twitter 24/7 that she did absolutely nothing wrong and people like me don't know shit about class info handling all the while calling us names..

As a cryptologic account holder during my tenure in the military I had to account for every page of every classified document to include the pages marked "This page intentionally left blank." Of course, I have to admit this was decades before emails. Very glad I did not have to control that.

The worst thing in the big picture isn't that she used her personal server for work that included classified material nor that she is trying her best to deny knowledge or culpability of wrong doing to mitigate the deeds. No, the worst thing IMO is that she at all times knew exactly what she was doing and what she was dealing with. She has always in all things here and in the past thought she was above right and wrong or the law.

As of now she is only regretful that she has been found out about the emails scandal. She still posses no regret that she did it other than getting caught.

The network that this classified information travels on has no connection to any unsecured network. Her staff (which I think will end up doing the hard time while she skates) was directed by her to copy the data from the secured and encrypted network to the unsecured network and thus to her unprotected email server.

I don't know if they used a USB drive (very, very unlikely. My UHC laptop could not write to external drives) or they took a picture of the screen with their camera phones or just wrote it down. No matter what, I am 104% sure our potential adversaries had that information before she saw it.

U.S. intelligence officials say "top-secret" emails Hillary Clinton kept on her private email server when she headed the State Department include the real names of CIA spies serving undercover overseas — a violation of federal law that has put the agents in harm's way, The Observer reports.

And, The Observer's John Schindler writes, those emails also include the names of foreigners on the CIA payroll, possibly endangering their lives.

"At a minimum, Secretary Clinton should have surrendered all emails dealing with Department business before leaving government service," the report reads. "Because she did not do so, she did not comply with the Department's policies that were implemented in accordance with the Federal Records Act."

Moreover, the office of the Inspector General found no evidence that Clinton had ever "requested or obtained guidance or approval to conduct official business via a personal email account on her private server." The reason neither she nor her staff sought out government support is pretty obvious in hindsight: officials who spoke with the Inspector General confirmed that they would not have allowed Clinton to exclusively use a personal email server for State Department business, citing potential security risks.

And this goes right back to what I've said before. Here we have someone who believes they're above the rules. What kind of crap would she pull as President?
